Giving Thanks

On November 12, ZDNet UK reported that Bradley Tipp,
Microsoft’s UK National Systems Engineer, proclaimed the death of the
free software model at the Monopoly’s IT Forum in Copenhagen. Had Mr
Tipp been right, our death would have been one of the most temporary
on record. From where I sit, two weeks later at the season of
Thanksgiving in the United States, the Free World has much to be
thankful for in the year now ending, and little to fear from the year
to come.
